The Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 chip is sounding a little underwhelming in latest leak
Recent leaks suggest the Google Pixel 11's Tensor G6 chip may feature a less powerful GPU than its predecessor, opting for the older PowerVR CXT-48-1536 instead of an upgraded model. While the CPU is expected to use Arm’s new C1-Ultra and C1-Pro cores in a seven-core configuration, GPU performance could see little to no improvement. This move may prioritize reducing die size over graphics performance, raising concerns among users expecting significant upgrades. The overall changes signal potential compromises in the chip's design ahead of the Pixel 11 launch.
- ▪The Tensor G6 chip for the Pixel 11 may use the PowerVR CXT-48-1536 GPU, a model from 2021 that offers no clear performance gain over the G5's DXT variant.
- ▪The CPU is rumored to shift to a seven-core setup using Arm’s C1-Ultra and C1-Pro cores, down from the octa-core configuration in the Tensor G5.
- ▪Leaked information aligns with earlier Geekbench data suggesting a single high-performance core clocked at 4.11 GHz.
- ▪Google appears to be prioritizing smaller die size and efficiency over GPU performance improvements in the Tensor G6 design.
- ▪The inclusion of a dated GPU has raised concerns about gaming and graphics performance on the upcoming Pixel 11 series.
